But yes, symbolism is nice...

I thought the article was pretty obvious considering it has the contents of Amendment A to the Wyoming constitution quoted there. Many Americans do not like the Feds poking around into their private lives and this is a symbolic way of showing them their displeasure.
Additionally, I think that many people just feel the Federal government has gone too far in its legislation/control of people's lives.
There is even an initiative for Lousiana to secede from the Union (not that this is new, these things happen a lot after elections these days).
My point here is that the polarization of the country isn't lessening, it's expanding and getting worse.
